New Zealand has a really special environment. Many of the plants and trees found in New Zealand are not found anywhere else in the world. These plants and trees are endemic to our country. In New Zealand, one of the largest and longest living endemic
trees is the NZ Kauri tree. Kauri are mainly found in three regions of New Zealand: the Coromandel, Auckland and Northland. The largest Kauri tree in the country is in the Waipoua Forest in Northland. It is called Tāne Mahuta. Some people refer to it as the ‘Lord of the Forest.’
Thousands of people go to visit Tāne Mahuta every year. Would you like to be one of those people who got to see Tāne Mahuta in real life? Why or why not?
On your blog, tell us whether you would like to go and visit Tāne Mahuta one day. Be sure to tell us why you do (or do not) want to visit this endemic tree.
After hearing and reading many things about the Kauri Trees, I really hope I get to go and visit Tane Mahuta one day....Why? I love trying new things such as going on an adventure, exploring new things, seeing things I havn't seen or heard about and also experiencing new things. I would really like to see how far up it is from us people standing on the ground....Maybe one day I will get to see Tane Mahuta :)
